Good lord that's a long time. Does this mean that if I'm performing CPR, I should keep going for 61 minutes? Longer?
He also said that if you enter the hospital on a stretcher, you're most likely also leaving on a stretcher...
The chance of 45+ minutes of CPR allowing someone to recover to even near normal health is tiny. The right question to ask is, do you care enough to cling onto that tiny hope? As in, is it your child or loved one? (Or, is it your job to administer CPR while the patient is being transported to a hospital...)
